Four hot startups aim to keep AI data centers cool
Posted on August 24, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length short
Data centers consume up to one-third of their energy for cooling, driving demand for innovative solutions. Direct-to-chip cooling, a emerging technology, uses cold plates to target heat sources directly on CPUs/GPUs, improving efficiency and sustainability. Traditional cooling relies on large chillers and water systems, while direct-to-chip cooling attaches cold plates to processors. These plates use liquid or advanced materials to absorb heat locally, reducing reliance on centralized cooling and lowering energy use. By Heather Clancy.

Serverless is not a primary
Posted on August 18, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length medium
The article emphasizes that while serverless is a powerful and exciting architectural pattern, it's frequently misapplied. Organizations often hope serverless will solve their software delivery problems, but it's actually an enabler that requires strong foundational practices to realize its benefits. By Seth Orell.

The cost of Kubernetes cluster sprawl and how to manage it
Posted on July 27, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length medium
Kubernetes cluster sprawl occurs when organizations create numerous clusters without proper governance, undermining the platform's core benefits of automated deployment, scaling, and self-healing. This uncontrolled proliferation stems from Kubernetes' deployment simplicity combined with governance gaps, innovation pressure, and infrastructure complexity in multi-cloud environments. The resulting sprawl creates operational inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities through inconsistent configurations, and resource waste from abandoned clusters - ultimately leading to loss of visibility across the Kubernetes ecosystem. By Damon Garn, Cogspinner Coaction.
